In  Ljubljana the cooperation between tenants and owner of gardens, through which
older people with low incomes have the chance to rent them, is giving birth to a successfull practice in the field of urban agriculture. More precisely, food self-sufficiency and recreation are assured using only plant protection and fertilizing agents allowed by the regulations for organic production on the gardens.
